Waiakea – Hawaiian Volcanic Water

Waiākea, founded in 2012, is the first Hawaiian volcanic water and triple bottom line premium water of its kind, adapting a supreme platform of healthy, sustainable, and ethical/charitable attributes and initiatives. The goal was to create a lifestyle brand that can inspire and make meaningful, positive change in a variety of ways. Another goal of the brand was to generate a transformation within the bottled water, beverage, and greater CPG industry, moving away from singular profit and towards a triple bottom line model that emphasizes people and planet.

Waiākea prides itself on using a high-grade 100% RPET, or recycled polyethylene terephtalate, for all of its bottles. This ensures that it helps the environment while gaining its advantages. In comparison to regular or virgin plastic bottles, the 100% RPET bottles uses 85% less energy to manufacture, uses 90% less water and reduces carbon emissions over 90%.The company was recognized for its innovation and the brand was the most awarded beverage in Northern America.

The Waiākea volcanic water comes from the Mauna Loa volcano as arctic moisture from trade winds converts to generous rain or snow as it hits their mountainous slopes. The water is then naturally filtered through thousands of feet of porous lava rock which enhances it with a unique blend of life-sustaining vitamins and minerals before it is finally emerging as tasty and clean Hawaiian volcanic mineral water.

Waiākea’s slogan is “Drink Healthy, Drink Sustainably, Drink Ethically”. Would you support a great brand like Waiākea? To know more about the brand, you may visit their official website here.

I have never heard or seen anything like this. I am glad they used the right resources and make it environmentally friendly. It would be cool to have a taste but I don’t think they will import it all the way to Canada.

I’ve never heard of this brand before, and that’s saying a lot because my husband is a water aficionado. The process of filtering through the lava seems very thorough. It make sense that the lava rocks would give many minerals to the water.

I am amazed this is coming from Hawaii be they are surrounded by nature & have a lot of conservation efforts along with a #plasticfree campaign. There is over 8 million metric tons of plastic waste in our ocean. Sea birds often eat the bottle caps because they mistake them for food. You can help reduce the amount of plastic in our oceans by simply passing on the luxury of drinking volcano water. It all starts with us as individuals making responsible decisions.
